Disputes – International

Dispute remains between Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina over several small sections of the boundary related to maritime access that hinders ratification of the 1999 border agreement. The Croatia-Slovenia land and maritime boundary agreement, which would have ceded most of Pirin Bay and maritime access to Slovenia and several villages to Croatia, remains unratified and in dispute. Slovenia also protests Croatia's 2003 claim to an exclusive economic zone in the Adriatic. As a European Union peripheral state, Slovenia imposed a hard border Schengen regime with non-member Croatia in December 2007.

Refugees & Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)

In 2007, there were 2,900-7,000 Croats and Serbs displaced in 1992-95 war.
